By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens this composition with a single clean citrus note — bright and brief, with a slightly floral quality characteristic of this particular ingredient. It establishes a fresh, classic starting point.
Sandalwood, oakmoss, and amber form the heart of the dry-down, adding progressively more warmth and earthiness. Vanilla softens the oakmoss's greenness, while musk keeps the sillage moderate and approachable.
The dry-down is a warm, classic chypre-adjacent accord — bergamot over mossy amber and sandalwood. The vanilla prevents it from reading as austerely green. Familiar and well-made in a traditional vein, suited to office or everyday wear.
